Gerrit, silver Akaija
He describes that the last time he held an Akaija in his hands, it became very hot. He compares it with ‘holding your hand above a burning candle’. Some time after that he started wearing an Akaija and this is what he told us about a week later: ” I experienced about the same as Toos: I felt I was going crazy. For a few days I was dead-tired and suffered minor pains, yet I felt happy and calm. Strange… I am experiencing extreme sleeping sessions, yet during the time I’m awake, I am bursting with energy. So… maybe this contradicts each other, but maybe I somehow have to get used to this. I will keep it in my breast-pocket for now and wait…”
He also describes he’s somewhat of a night-owl who prefers to sleep during daytime, working through the night, but it looks as if the Akaija is forcing him to change this pattern to a more natural way of life.
“I have been living my life this way for over 15 years now!” he complains. “And then such a tiny piece of silver comes telling me I should do things different. I’m not amused!” But with a smile.
Remark from Wim: Gerrit is a special friend of ours. A few months later his Akaija had turned bright yellow. I have seen and tested his Akaija. It was more yellow than a golden Akaija next to it. Grinding it for a few minutes had no result: the Akaija was through and through yellow. Strange kind of alchemy :-). I think the yellow colour was caused by his use of medicines and alcohol (liver reactions) and smoking (nicotine). It looks like silver can change color then because of this, maybe because the Akaija tried to protect him from toxins.
